Your Best Years Start Now

10 Healing Benefits of Infrared Saunas

In countries such as Finland, saunas have long been a central part of the culture and daily life.

Their use in Finland dates back 10,000 years, in fact, when the earliest saunas consisted of earth pits covered with animal skins.

Meanwhile, the therapeutic-for-body-mind-and-spirit use of heated rooms and spaces actually dates back eons in other cultures, too, such as the Roman balneae and thermae… the Native American sweat lodges… the Mexican and Guatemalan temascal… the Turkish hammam… and the Russian banya.

And it turns out that routine sauna use — particularly of a high-quality infrared sauna — is indeed one of the smartest (and most enjoyable) things you can do to look your best, feel your best, and live a long life doing it.

10 Research-Based Benefits of Infrared Saunas

Beyond their powerful relaxation and stress-reduction benefits, studies show that sweating from saunas and infrared light may help:

Why Infrared Saunas are Best

Instead, infrared lamps are used to penetrate the tissues in the body and heat your body directly.

First of all, many people find infrared saunas more enjoyable, because they don’t experience that “too-hot-stuffiness” that the air in traditional saunas can quickly provoke.

Most importantly, because infrared saunas cause your core temperate to rise, they enable you to sweat at lower temperatures.

You experience more of the benefits and in less time, in other words.

All 3 Types of Infrared Waves are Important

Owning and routinely using an infrared sauna is still considered a health “luxury” in this part of the world (i.e., North America).

However, as word of its range of research-backed benefits spreads, I suspect it will become more of a necessity.

If and when you do consider an infrared sauna, though, do be careful…

Many infrared saunas do not provide the “full spectrum” of infrared waves.

Whatever infrared sauna you choose should provide all 3 types of waves, including:

Near-infrared, the shortest wavelength, which can benefit cell health, oxygenation of tissues, and wound healing

Mid-infrared, which can benefit circulation, weight loss, and pain relief

Far-infrared, the longest wavelength, which reaches deep in the body and supports healthy blood pressure and detoxification

Another important key to look for in an infrared sauna is one that uses carbon heaters.

Older infrared saunas use ceramic heaters, which need to get really hot to work, and don’t emit as much infrared light.

Because of their lower surface temperatures, carbon heaters can provide more beneficial infrared light.

The Bottom Line… and a Top Recommendation

Regularly using an infrared sauna can benefit your health in many ways, including supporting detoxification and boosting your body’s healing processes.

This is great for anyone… perhaps especially those with autoimmune disorders, hormone issues, and those with high heavy metal toxic load.

PLEASE DO BE CAREFUL, THOUGH…

When choosing an infrared sauna, don’t go for cheapest… go for the best. (In my view, it’s even better not to use one at all than to go for cheap models).

That’s because the low-grade models you’ll find on Amazon for a few hundred bucks, for example, often use low grade materials that can be toxic (such as cheap light bulbs that emit high levels of EMF).

That’s why I highly recommend that same premier-quality infrared sauna recommend by so many top doctors and other health experts, such as Dr. Mark Hyman… Dr. Joel Kahn… and Ari Whitten…

A premier infrared sauna is, of course, a powerful long-term investment in your health and wellbeing.

It is, though, an investment, and as those who have considered one already know, the initial costs can run in the low thousands.

I wish this wasn’t the case, of course, however…

First of all, as you’ll see, Sunlighten infrared saunas are better-priced than others in its class (and truly, they’re flat-out better than others “in its class.”)

And when you break it down, it’s really one of the smartest investments you could make. Consider that people are quick to spend $5, $10, or more daily on products and more promising to help their health, and add up how much this amounts to over a year — apply that to a daily sauna session, and a far infrared sauna can pay for itself in under a year.

So, the very bottom-most of the bottom line is this…

If you are considering a far infrared sauna… if you might consider one in the future… or even simply to get a deeper-dive knowledge of why they’re so beneficial versus the brief primer I’ve provided here…
